CLIP FOR METALLIC WINDOW-SASHES.

Application filed. April 24, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DELAMAR C. Bnrces, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Detroit, in the county of WVayne and State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips forMetallic "Window-Sashes, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

In the construction of metallic window sashes, it is usual to form thesash bars of metallic bars having T-heads the latter being usuallymolded or fashioned to produce an "ornamental appearance. For certainconstructions it is necessary to secure to these sash barstransversely-extending metallic bars, and the present invention relatesto a clip construction forming a simple and convenient means of securingsaid transverse bars.

In the drawings: Figure l is a section through one ofthe bars of ametallic window sash showing a transverse bar secured thereto by myimproved clip; Fig. 2 is an elevation at right angles to Fig. 1; Fig. 3is a similar view showing a modified con struction; and Fig. 4c is aperspective view of a portion of the T-bar showing the manner ofaperturing the same for the reception of the clip.

A is one of the division bars of a metallic window sash, which, asshown, is provided with a molded head B.

(J are the glass panes which are secured to the bar A, being seatedagainst the under face of the head thereof.

D is the transversely-extending bar to be secured to the bar A.

My improved securing means comprises a clip E which is engaged with theportion of the bar A outside of the plane of the glass by passingthrough a transverse aperture F formed therein. This clip is preferablySpecification of Letters Patent.

of U-form, while the aperture F is of a size to permit the turning ofthe clip therein, into the position shown in Fig. l. The parallel legsof the U engage correspondingly positioned apertures in the flange ofthe bar D, and clamping nuts G- engaging threaded end portions of saidlegs serve to clamp the bars D and A firmly together.

If desired, the molded head B of the bar A may be mortised for thereception of the bar D, as shown in Fig. 3.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. In a metallic window, the combination with a metallic sash bar havingseats for the glass thereon and a bar extending transversely to saidfirst-mentioned bar on the outer side thereof, of a Ushaped clipengageable with a transverse aperture in the portion of said sash baroutside the plane of the glass, the parallel legs of said clip beingengageable with correspondingly positioned apertures in said transversebar, and clamping nuts on the engaging threaded end portions of saidparallel legs for securing said bars to each other.

2. In a metallic window, the combination with a metallic sash bar havingseats for the glass thereon, a bar extending transversely with saidfirst mentioned bar on the outer side thereof, of a U-shaped clipengageable with a transverse aperture in the portion of said sash baroutside of the plane of the glass, the legs of said U-shaped clip beingengageable with said transverse bar and means engaging the legs forsecuring said bars to each other.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
